Filippo's Bretonnia: Rank and File 2 - 145 points

Not an haiku this month!

During the last few editions, February has always been the busiest month, which is why I often called a mulligan. 2026 was no different. I actually almost managed to complete my goal, but I preferred to postpone everything to March.

For this month, I prepared a unit of 10 Men‑At‑Arms with halberds, shields, and command group.

For Bretonnia and the Lady!

Choosing the colors was difficult. I wanted to try something unusual, maybe use the colors of my city, but in the end I went with the classic white and blue for two reasons:

1. They’re the colors that immediately come to mind when I think of Bretonnian infantry.

2. I bought more monopose archers and Men‑At‑Arms with spears that are already painted and only need a few touch‑ups, so I can expand my army with less effort.

The paint scheme is fairly simple and easy to replicate when I need to increase the size of the unit. Ten models are perfect for a Border Patrol, but I’ll need at least ten more if I want to play larger games.

So simple, yet so gorgeous

Alongside this unit, I painted a Grail Damsel.

This model was also partially started, but I repainted it entirely, using the previous colors as if they were the primer.

I recently managed to get the mounted version as well, which I hope to add in the coming months.

Overall, I’m very satisfied with the work, even if it doesn’t quite capture the fifth‑edition vibe as much as I would have liked. It’s really hard to paint those colors in a reasonable amount of time.

Since I had a couple of fairly free weeks, I got ahead on the work for April, so I’m pretty confident I’ll manage to avoid the field of bones again this time. Let’s hope May doesn’t betray me.
